When I told my supervisor I was going out to get some milk in the corner shop, he looked at me with a serious glance and told me that I should take care. I was confused but suddenly realised today was the day. The day Kuala Lumpur people had been talking about for a week.

I was excited for a long time but when I arrived it was fast replaced by disappointment. Mostly because of the chubby unhappy looking 50-something women starring at me from behind the reception. No smile, no hello, just an asking stare at me. She asked me if I had a booking. In that moment, I realised that she’d already forgotten my face since yesterday. When I told her about my volunteering at this hostel, she looked at me one more time and found a key for me. After I’d put my stuff in the room, I followed her back into the reception and then I just waited. She didn’t seem to bother telling me what was going on, who I was waiting for, what I was going to do or anything else for that matter. I gave up and left.

Of course, I don’t mean hooking up literally but it sounded catchy as a headline. This post idea started to take shape when I’d been on a coffee date with a local girl in Georgetown. She was the sweetest and chattiest thing I’ve met for a while. We sat down and talked for hours about everything while it was just fun and relaxing.

You know some of those days when the temperature is just heating up your brain and there’s nothing else to do than to cool yourself down and try to go ‘sightseeing light’ without too many interruptions which could, worse case scenario, make you go crazy on some poor crying child or drunk man. We’ve all been there, right?

My name is Lena and I’m a Danish-blooded China-lover. Wow, okay that sounded quite random. I know, I get that often, let me explain. I was once just a happy girl in Denmark but then I got bored in my comfort zone so I went to China. China was all the trouble I didn’t know I needed in my life.

Since then, I've learned Chinese and been in China for four years. Now, located in Beijing where I study and work.

My mission as a blogger is to tell you about China, maybe even enough to fall in love with this amazing dragon-country, who knows, right? Hope you’ll enjoy my posts on China and travel and remember if you have any questions, feel free to hunt me down and send me a message.
